Pssst. You should tell all the PUGs that, they didn't get the memo between all the stomps. Or maybe the memo got eaten by the 4 Craven teams.

Well Dorthy, I have played for close to 20 hours Sat/Sun and I have been seeing a cool trend. Steiners in bigger drops & Mariks in big drops and Kuritans in big drops, Even some GOOOOONS drops... Don't remember a Davion drop. Like 5-6 Members of a house in a drop.

It is kinda like when we finally get the Houses up and running. Factions dropping together is what will eventually be happening, with a few Lone Wolves filling the gaps where needed. I kow how a lot of you feel, but I for one was impressed that the House affiliated players were dropping together so often.

FTFY houseliao.com doesn't have nearly enough numbers to consistently be a persence in 4mans. What you're seeing there is goons.

If that impression is "Hey if I want to do well in this team based game. I should join a merc unit, learn some teamwork, and have a good time." Then yeah, excellent first impression...

multi house pug beats single house premade

lone wolves should come pre-destroyed

Lol, trying to hurt my feelings? None of the space china or space japan factions interest me. Or the space vikings, or the space samurai(clans). I do pretty well for myself being a lonewolf. I'd be doing well regardless what faction I was in.

I hear the cool kids are all in FRR, then gonna jump ship as soon as the Clanners show up.

You are right about the cool kids part - but if we have our say this game is quickly going to move from apocrypha to non-cannon when we stop the Clans cold.

Nah, we were kinda destroying everyone, except for that one Steiner force we lost 8-1 on. Everyone else got deaded.

Fair assumption the house players that are sync dropping/pub stomping are the house players who have been deamed sub par in the leet 8 man scene. It would follow that alot of houses, jsut arn't that good in the upper levels of competition. Funny part is, steam rolling the sheep doesnt exactly make for improving oneself to become more competitive in 8 mans. At least theyre having some fun though, right?

god forbid somebody play for fun

I don't want to be a Lone Wolf, I just don't want to belong to a Fedaration/Faction other than a Clan. The problem is, when/if Clans come into play... do I fight against another Clan with a House? Do I fight against my own Clan? Does the game have enough of each faction to even make it viable? Bleah... I'll just shoot everyone

Yeah. On a similarly related note: I have to wonder if in-House fighting will be possible.

Met 6 rassalhagians last night in a game, asked what unit they are; they were random droped by matchmaking.
When they realized theire composition, one of them said it was odins will.

Normaly its the skyerangers yopu meet though.

Oh how i´m waiting for faction warfare, it´s just so much fun to rp in chat.^^

[Reani Che]

Yesterday played in group of 2. Dropped with some more "Mariks" though.

[Steinar Bergstol]

I've gotten randomly dropped into almost pure DC teams while PUGing. I've also been a lone Drac in a team nearly full of Rasalhagians. The calls of "Filthy snake" and "Pull him out of his mech and stand him up in front of a firing squad" when they noticed were fun.

[Sears]

It would be nice if the matchmaker actively placed house players on one team, as long as it didn't mess up the Elo. Just adds a bit of flavour to matches.

Does it? The Free Worlds League is not exactly making "premades" during their house nights. They get together in TS all hit launch together and teams form as they form.

I am happy to see Houses pulling together. They are forming some community in this community. A Lone Wolf should not care if he is the 7th or 8th man in a group, it is part of his Lone Wolf character. Adding his skills to the group he drops with Which ever group he drops with. If it is players trying to sync drop, well it hasn't lowered my win/loss, and about every 3rd match(observation not documented) We faced a team of "Lone Wolves". Sometimes with the expected outcome of a 4+4 v 8 PUGs, sometimes we got rolfstomped.

Factions are forming. It is showing the players are getting ready to play the game for real.
